Transplant International is the official journal of the European Society for Organ Transplantation (ESOT). Transplant International aims to be the premier journal publishing the key basic science and clinical developments in organ replacement medicine, including all aspects of transplantation, organ reconditioning, cell therapy, regenerative medicine, bioengineering and artificial organs.

Please note: Because they concern the unrelated field of onco-hematology, Transplant International does not accept submissions in the field of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).

The aim of the journal is to serve as a forum for the exchange of scientific information in the form of original and high quality papers in the field of transplantation. Clinical and experimental studies, as well as editorials, letters to the editors, and, occasionally, reviews on the biology, physiology, and immunology of transplantation of tissues and organs, are published. Publishing time for the latter is approximately six months, provided major revisions are not needed. Papers submitted to the journal are subject to a thorough double-blind peer review model.

At Transplant International, we believe that diversity is the essence of humankind. We value engagement and inclusion at all stages of science communication and dissemination, from the submission of research manuscripts, through the editorial and review process and on to publication. We welcome submissions from applicants of all ethnicities, nationalities, religions, gender identities, sexual orientations or other individual status, and are committed to eliminating the influence of any bias in our processes.

We recognise that this endeavour requires an ongoing commitment; the journal will continually review its practices in this regard and welcomes any feedback from our authors and community.
